Just Around the Riverbend

Lyrics

What I love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twiceThe water's always changing, always flowing But people, I guess, can't live like that, we all must pay a priceTo be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowingWhat's around the riverbend?Waiting just around the riverbend? I look once more just around the riverbend Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free Don't know what for, what I dream the day might send Just around the riverbend for me Coming for me I feel it there beyond those trees or right behind these waterfalls Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming? For a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome sturdy walls And never dreams that something might be coming Just around the riverbend Just around the riverbend I look once more just around the riverbend Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea Don't know what for, why do all my dreams extend Just around the riverbend? Just around the river bend Should I choose the smoothest course?Steady as the beating drum?Should I marry Kocoum , is all my dreaming at an end? Or do you still wait for me, dream giver Just around the riverbend?
